Re: Question about Tumblr

Leaving current fandom aside...

what are your major issues with Tumblr as a platform? Not quality of life things, not annoyances with fandom people, but really major issues you have with the service.

Honestly, I think it's a good site for sharing pictures (which was its intended purpose) but just a terrible fandom platform. Misinformation gets spread like wild fire (like the Will Smith's Dad post which was later corrected). Also some of the interface changes like fixing the video, which sometimes works and if it does it loads incredibly slowly, but they also screwed up everything else.

Another particular beef of mine is the lack of being able to keep sorted out your favorites. Think of lj/dw and their use of "memories" where you can save posts and keep them saved in neat tags. Tumblr doesn't have that and, again, it wasn't designed for that I think.


why do you think fandom adopted Tumblr so widely and totally, if Tumblr is so bad?

I'll go with the fact that, after the infamous strikethrough on livejournal, a lot of people already had a tumblr account and where posting there. Then a new generation of peeps came whose first experience in fandom was on tumblr. Now people (artists included) are moving onto twitter and sometimes crosspost their art on tumblr. Why? Because tumblr is becoming less and less functional.

Also taking into account that Tumblr is currently in a lingo with how yahoo fucked the site and themselves over, and fandom is currently migrating onto other platforms, mostly twitter since everyone and their moms have already an account over there.

Also tumblr on phone sucks but I think that's true for many phone apps.
